“I recently held my father’s wake at McGovern Park upon recommendation from a friend who lives locally. Right from the first meeting my mother and I had with Paul Buffery, he could not have been more helpful and understanding at an obviously difficult time for us. He listened to our requirements and made helpful suggestions along the way. The wake itself took place in the smaller room upstairs which was perfect for our c70 guests. Paul was on-hand on the day to help with anything we needed together with the staff who were all very friendly and helpful as well. The buffet was of very good quality and plenty of it, so nobody went home hungry! Parking was also so easy with loads of space available. I would wholeheartedly recommend Paul and the team for any event you require – hopefully our next one will be for a less sad occasion.”
